Examining Wild Play in Early Childhood (Webinar)
Description:
Presenter: Dr. Debra Harwood
Wild play is a distinct and beneficial form of play rooted in real experiences, processes, and explorations where nature acts as the co-player. Wild play within untamed outdoor natural environments affords opportunities for complexity, spontaneity, curiosity, creativity, and entanglement. This presentation will focus on insights drawn from research focused on wild play programs where children are immersed within untamed natural areas repeatedly and over extended periods of time. By redefining what we mean by wild play in early childhood education fundamental shifts in the profession can be achieved and the experiences afforded to young children can be broadened. Supporting wild play within centre-based spaces will be showcased.
